About this listen

Critics Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder discuss two of Jane Campion's least regarded works, Top of the Lake: China Girl and The Portrait of a Lady. We talk about our unexpected disappointment with China Girl, how Campion didn't seem to care about telling the stories of women of color, and Gwendoline Christie's height. We were pleasantly surprised by Portrait, which when compared to her other less-than-loved movies doesn't stand out, but contains some consistently relevant Campion themes and a bunch of film school flourishes we couldn't help but love.
